Bochum survives dramatic playoff against Düsseldorf to stay in Bundesliga

Associated Press  

DÜSSELDORF, Germany — Bochum clinched Bundesliga survival by coming from three goals down and winning a penalty shootout 6-5 to thwart Fortuna Düsseldorf’s promotion bid on Monday. Second division club Düsseldorf was 3-0 up from the first leg of their playoff on Thursday, but Philipp Hofmann scored twice and Kevin Stöger converted a penalty for Bochum to win the second leg 3-0. “Everyone wrote us off after the first game and that gave us even more motivation, to create history, to do something incredible,” said Hofmann, who scored an own goal in the first leg. Veteran goalkeeper Andreas Luthe saved Andre Hoffmann’s first effort for Düsseldorf in the shootout, and counterpart Florian Kastenmeier also made a save for the home team.
